Accelerate your startup’s growth
Dublin is widely recognised as a leading European hub for startup acceleration, with access to some of Europe’s most respected incubator and accelerator programmes. These initiatives provide the right environment, resources, and networks for growth.
Embedded within the region’s startup ecosystem, these programmes deliver structured support, combining coworking facilities with sector-specific mentoring, access to capital, technical expertise, and investor engagement opportunities.
For investors and founders alike, Dublin is a place where innovation is nurtured, and high-potential businesses are given the tools to thrive from day one.
Dublin’s innovation infrastructure
Dublin has a robust network of accelerators and incubators, many of which are operated by the region’s top universities and research institutions. These are complemented by strategic investments from long-established multinationals such as Google, Citigroup, and Diageo, demonstrating strong corporate commitment to nurturing the next generation of high-growth enterprises.
Dublin City Council and Dublin’s Local Enterprise Offices also play an important role in supporting these initiatives.
While incubators are designed to guide early-stage startups through the critical launch phase, accelerator programmes offer a more intensive trajectory for businesses seeking to scale and expand internationally. Many of Dublin’s leading programmes focus on high-impact sectors such as technology and financial services, leveraging the city’s existing strengths in these areas.
Choosing Dublin as your startup base connects you with a globally mobile talent pool, high-quality infrastructure, and a deeply interconnected innovation community, ensuring the ideal conditions for sustained business success.
